Black Togo Leather Pen Pouch Truly Uncorrected Italian Full-Grain Aniline leather Inside and Out 

Leather has always been the preferred material for protective cases, whether for opera glasses or delicate instruments. Our case is made entirely from Italian top quality uncorrected full-grain leather, warding your pen within a shelter made from an all-natural material soft enough to provide cushioning but durable enough to soften impacts and dropping.

As a cost-saving measure, non-leather linings are increasingly utilized for the inside lining of pen pouches. At Fort Belvedere, we never compromise on quality. We found, that the natural grippiness of leather was the ideal medium for holding pens securely in place without crushing or distending them. Unlike suedes or velvets, smooth leather is also slick, in no way impeding the smooth extraction of the pen.

Harvested from German Cows

The case is crafted from unaltered full-grain leather sourced solely from young cattle that graze in the elevated meadows of the Alpine region. Why is this significant? The Alpine climate is cooler, resulting in a reduced number of insects. A lower incidence of insects leads to fewer bites on the animals, which can otherwise damage the leather, causing imperfections.

Additionally, while the hides of calves are more expensive than those of larger cows and bulls due to their size, the exceptional characteristics of calfskin—its resilience paired with softness—justify the cost.

Heritage German Tannery

These hides have undergone tanning and preparation at a historic German tannery with centuries of operation under its belt. This esteemed tannery is committed to crafting the most exquisite open-pored leathers, upholding the venerable legacy of German artisanry. In serving not only Fort Belvedere but also numerous elite and luxury fashion brands, it secures its reputation as a purveyor of premium leathers.

All-Natural Shrunken Calf Pebbled Surface

The textured pebbled appearance common in leather products is often the result of artificial embossing, aimed at producing a consistent pattern. However, this is not how we achieve the distinctive pebble or grain effect on our Togo leather. Instead, it's through a natural process where the leather is shrunken down, causing the surface to tighten and accentuate the grain, thus making it more pronounced.

Given that leather is a natural substance, each pebble pattern is unique. There is variation even within the same piece of leather, guaranteeing that each item is genuinely one-of-a-kind. This process of shrinking not only enhances the pebble detail but also marginally increases the thickness of the leather, enhancing its durability without sacrificing any of the material's inherent softness or flexibility. Every single cut of leather has been meticulously chosen to best represent the stunning impact of the deep-pebbled grain.

Dry Hand & Scratch Resistance

In contrast to our other bull hide leathers, the calf leather we offer is crafted with scratch-resistant features. For those who prefer their leather without the natural markings and wear that open-pore leather acquires over time, our Togo leather is an ideal choice. Day-to-day use or minor scuffs will not alter its look or finish.

Our Togo leather also boasts a dry feel and enhances water resistance, though it does not reach the point of being waterproof. 

Open-pore aniline leathers are inherently permeable by water. Inferior leathers are often coated with a synthetic layer that grants them water-repellent properties but at the cost of breathability. Our Togo leather offers you better resistance while maintaining the desirable qualities of open-pore leather. 

Formal Black Dye

This elegant pen case, crafted from Togo leather, features a deep black hue achieved through our aniline dyeing technique. The color is thoroughly permeated into the leather for enduring vibrancy that resists fading. Boasting a luxurious texture and sophisticated shade, this accessory is perfect for dressy events yet versatile enough to complement multiple styles.

Elegant Tone-on-Tone Stitching

Our black thread melds into the black of this pen wallet, contributing to its rugged and utilitarian appearance. Nevertheless, each thread has been meticulously stitched in a back-and-forth pattern that ensures longevity and durability. The workmanship is even more impressive when you realize that the artisans can only see one side as they are working, so it requires extra care and skill to sew these together.

Matching This Pen Case to Your Fountain Pen

No matter its size, this pen case will securely hold your pens; whether it is a large Montblanc Meisterstück 149, an Omas 360, or a thin ballpoint pen, it will fit beautifully with any one of our pen cases.

All of the dye choices for our Fort Belvedere products have been made to ensure the widest possible versatility and pairability. For added elegance, however, it does not hurt to take the color of your pen into consideration when selecting a pen pouch.

The dark hue of the case complements various pen finishes, enhancing their appeal. A white fountain pen symbolizes simplicity against the black case. For subtlety, consider burgundy for a touch of vintage luxury. Silver and chrome finishes add a professional and futuristic edge, with their reflective surfaces playing with light and shadow. For a classic look, nothing beats black-on-black—a glossy or matte black pen in the black leather case, reaffirming a commitment to style and distinction.

To nourish the leather and keep it supple and appearing its most fine, we suggest that every couple years you apply an unpigmented shoe polish or cream to its surface. Buff the polish or cream as you would your shoes.

The Finest Bovine Leather

Fort Belvedere proudly sources four unique varieties of treated leather, each with its own special qualities. These particular leathers are employed for most of our small leather goods, allowing you to easily match the leather accessories in your ensemble.

Americana, Dumont, and Montecristo Leather

Our Americana, Dumont, and Montecristo leathers were all tanned in Italy with hides exclusively taken from English bulls. Why bulls? Leather from cows that have calved can stretch and warp, altering the look. In contrast, bull leather is free from these imperfections, maintaining the pristine, authentic quality of the material without reliance on synthetic alterations.

These skins then underwent our tanning process at an Italian tannery steeped in heritage, boasting more than a hundred years of operation. This establishment is not only committed to crafting the highest quality open-pored leathers, following the esteemed Italian artisanal methods but also prioritizes sustainable sourcing, fair labor standards, and reducing its environmental footprint.
